“Oh my god. It was so much worse than I ever thought,” Joe Scarborough said on “Morning Joe” this morning. “Wow.”
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough is giving a brutal review of White House policy adviser Stephen Miller’s performance on the Sunday morning talk show circuit. Which will probably cause some contention with Donald Trump after he gave a raving review of Miller on Twitter:
Congratulations Stephen Miller- on representing me this morning on the various Sunday morning shows. Great job!

Miller on the Sunday shows attacked the federal court that refused to reinstate Trump’s executive order, and repeatedly said Trump had broad powers over security that should not be questioned by the court. Scarborough took that point – and ran with it.
“No, they are questioned, my young, little Miller. They will be questioned by the court. It’s called judicial review,” Scarborough said about Trump’s “powers over security.”
“Alexander Hamilton and James Madison wrote about it in the Federalist Papers,” Scarborough continued. “It was enshrined in Madison’s Constitution. Andrew Jackson — you go into your president’s office, you know that one, and you look on the walls, and there are all these pictures of Andrew Jackson — he talked of the importance of judicial independence.
“And seriously, the White House has got to stop embarrassing themselves by putting this guy on,” Scarborough said.
“That is the worst performance of anybody. That made Susan Rice the Sunday after Benghazi look smooth. I mean that was horrendous and an embarrassment,” Scarborough said.
